The bobcat is a 2009 I bought used from the dealer with just over 300 hours on it. I paid $40,000 out the door for the loader, blower, and bucket (loader and blower were used). Then add in the $2,300 for the tires, so $42,300. I plan on getting a light bar for it too.

Those tires are INSANE!!! I didnt know Snow Wolf offered them in that big of size.....That machine with those tires could handle a 12ft pusher pretty easy. You will be VERY happy with the Wolf Paws! Congrats on an awesome setup!!!

I was able to adjust the shoes on the blower and still have it sit low enough and have a good angle on it. I'm not sure if I put a pusher on it if the angle would be too steep since those tires give the machine an extra 2" of ground clearance. I'll see how the blower works this year for driveways.

On a "rigid" pusher like a protech it might be a problem..?..?....But on a pusher design like Arctic or Bobcat, it shouldnt be enough to cause a problem. I've ran reg Wolf Paws on a few S185's equiped w/ Bobcat pushers, and its about the same difference as what you have there(tire size increase compared to stock). Never any problems, worked great.

Just an observation.. But looking at those pics.. the blower bucket is sitting tilted to far forward and it will wear out the front bottom of the bucket...If it's ran like that. Not sure if you can level the blower more to the ground...

it is sitting a little tilted but I adjusted the shoes so the shoes were touching and the cutting edge of the blower was 1/8" above the ground in that picture.

Well. I really was too lazy to do the math..................But of course I was willing to check your's............. Of course, should I really expect otherwise?

I came up with 13.94 MPH using 31" tires for the base, problaly close to what you were figuring sno. Yep

At first, w/o any math and just guessing, I was thinking 16-20 MPH just ased on the pics............... 16 would be bada$$.....20 might be on the verge of insane? In SS terms, 1 or 2 mph jumps are quite noticeable
